Hotel Schweizerhof Basel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was amazing! Staff very welcoming and friendly and the free travel pass and discounts on attractions was awesome! So easy to hop on the tram and head to Old Town Basel! The room was IMMACULATE! Beds were a bit close together but they were incredibly comfortable; the mattress, pillows and covers were so luxurious feeling. Again everything was so clean. Really enjoyed our visit and stay here again!"

Essential by Dorint Basel City

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nice and clean, check in was smooth and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The room I booked came with a free mini bar which was great. The area is quiet but very close to bus stop and trams to get around thw city. The breakfast has great options and was very tasty"

Best Western Hotel Dreilaenderbruecke

8/10 Good

"We love our room and the breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. Front desk staff were very friendly. The only suggestion I have is to provide detailed instructions on arrival - e.g. hotel reception is on the 6 floor，there’s separate elevator for parking and the hotel. For international travellers make sure all communications are in English ☺️"

Residhotel Mulhouse Centre

8/10 Good

"Checkin was a disaster compounded by unnecessary surliness and incompetence. They demand a 24 hour pre check in online and I did that noting that I would stop by at 1 pm to drop bags and avail myself of their luggage storage option. I received an email back thanking me for pre-check in. I showed up at 3 pm and there was a family from Montreal also looking to check in early. The phone didn’t pick up then a random guy came and accosted us for being early and I explained I spelled it out in the pre check in. He said to give him 5 minutes. That turned into fifteen minutes and then some other guy showed up and accosted us again and shut the door and left us out on the street in the hot weather. I found his language to be rude and abrasive as did the Montreal family. Finally some hotel guests took pity on us and let us in and showed us where the luggage storage was and we went to get some water nearby (why that was so difficult for the hotel staff Ill never know). I don’t know why they bother with the pre-registration kabuki. Then my room didn’t have a frying pan but there was a whisk and a spatula. After three days I gave up asking. It’s unfortunate because it’s a nicely renovated old building in a convenient spot though it was interesting that they have a placard at the front desk advising guests not to argue with staff so somehow the surliness is built into the hospitality illusion they offer. It was like a surly Fawlty Towers Totally uncalled for. C’est dommage."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Sankt Jakob?

The best time to visit Sankt Jakob in Basel is generally during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.

Spring offers pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, and the city's parks and gardens are in full bloom. This is a good time for outdoor activities and exploring the city on foot without the intense heat of summer. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, making it easier to enjoy attractions.

Autumn also provides mild weather, with temperatures between 10°C and 18°C, and the changing colours of the leaves add to the city's appeal. This season is particularly good for cultural events and wine festivals in the surrounding region. The cooler, crisp air is ideal for comfortable sightseeing.

While summer (July and August) can be warm, often reaching 25°C or higher, it's also a popular time for festivals and open-air events. However, it can be busier and more expensive. Winter (November to March) is colder, with temperatures frequently dropping below 5°C, but it's a magical time if you're interested in Christmas markets and winter sports in the nearby mountains.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Sankt Jakob hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Sankt Jakob hotel?

Hotel prices in Sankt Jakob often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
